Over the week of Thanksgiving break I did many things. The one thing I did the most was watch Christmas movies. My favorite that was shown on T.V. was Elf. I also completed my homework which included reading a book and writing a letter to the author. The book I was assigned was Fahrenheit 451. This book is about a guy named Guy Montag that is a fireman but instead of putting out fires he sets them. The book is set in the 24th century and books are banned because they make people think. After about 10 years working as a fireman he meets 17 year old Clarisse McClellan who makes him realize that his job is wrong. Also, over the Thanksgiving break I attended a Key Club event. In this event I helped out with the counting of how many toys were left over from last years toy drive. This year city council plans to give away 5,000 toys in their annual toy drive so I was asked help with inventory. It was a great experience and I would definatly do it again. Lastly, my family and I met togther at my grandmothers house to have a nice family dinner.
